Product DescriptionPoulenc was a skilled pianist, cultivating a style of playing characterised by colorfulness and clarity, possessing an ear for melody that distinguished him as France's finest song composer since Fauré.
Canadian pianist Lucille Chung - acclaimed for her "stylish and refined performances" by Gramophone magazine, "combining vigor and suppleness with natural eloquence and elegance" - appears as a soloist on this new recording, performing Poulenc's Improvisations, Novelettes and L'embarquement pour Cythère, before being joined by her duo partner (and husband) Alessio Bax for the Sonata for Four Hands and Concerto for Two Pianos.
